Below is a sample of Industry Professional Testimonials that we have garnered. A more extensive list can be viewed by clicking here.

Dr. Raymond Foery
Professor Emeritus - Quinnipiac University Film, Television, and Media Arts
Published “The Last Masterpiece: Alfred Hitchcock’s Frenzy” in 2012 (Rowman and Littlefield)

 "A truly imaginative filmmaker with a highly sophisticated sense of cinematic acuity. Jim has been remarkably active, in various genres. As a director of narrative fiction, he has shown a sure hand with actors and a sophisticated appreciation of mise-en-scene. As a creator of animated visual motifs, Jim has displayed a mastery of the latest techniques and a sophisticated sense of composition complemented by a rich appreciation of theatrical style. Each of his projects also reveals the mind of an artist grappling with the eternal philosophical dilemmas of our existence on this planet – as well as some speculation about those other planets out there. In short, Jim’s work forces us to think as well as to look."
